Hello Members of the AACE Connect Community

I teach fourth graders math and English in a public school in the suburbs of New Orleans. I just completed my thirty-third year in this wonderful profession. Embedding technology into my lessons is my passion. By doing so I can differentiate the learning and activitely engage all of my students.

I read you post and was compelled to respond. Just opinion - take it for what it is worth.

The best protection that you can give them I believe is to teach them about masquerading and how individuals can misrepresent themselves and the danger that can occur because of this. IE: identity theft, children being lured into unsafe relationships, consideration of one's privacy, hackers breaking into systems. Tools for filtering and frequent changing of passwords will help. Also being aware of how individuals can capture user's information: cookies.

I think that you can put enough technology "smarts" into it your teaching to get the kids to feel like they are "driving" not being restricted. Helping them to be smarter user's of computers will enable them to protect themselves and that is the best protection that you can teach.
